The Caregiving Continuum: Costs & Benefits Reconsidered

June 11, 2009 Peter S. Arno, Ph.D., professor in the School of Public Health at New York Medical College, presented at The Hilltop Institute Symposium on Thursday, June 11, 2009. Dr. Arno sought to go beyond HCBS to explore the continuum of care. He cited a great imbalance between supply and projected demand for direct care workers, which is at an all-time high. He noted that CMS projections for 2009 estimate that "home care expenditures will total $70 billion and that the economic value of informal caregiving will be $354 billion."
